IMPRESSIVE OUTCOMES
EXTENSIVE TRIALS
“Continued observations and crop monitoring at two South Australian netted orchard trial sites at Loxton (apples) and Pyap (citrus) suggest there are numerous benefits to investing in permanent netting of tree crops. These benefits extend well beyond traditional crop protection benefits.
Information and data being gathered include the effect netting has on mitigating hail damage, the incidence and effect of frost events, canopy structure and leaf area, fruitfulness, fruit quality and grade by variety. These monitored outcomes are being measured against crop water use, nutrient inputs and the efficacy of integrated pest management (IPM).
As the project progresses, the summary findings are enabling the development of cost-benefit analyses that consider the worth of the system against the total cost of investment in the netting infrastructure.”

Success Stories
JBS Five Rivers Cattle Feeding
Discovering Net-Pro has been valuable for JBS Five Rivers Cattle Feeding!! As we were considering options to rebuild pens and shade structures this past year, finding a comprehensive solution that fulfilled a wide range of needs for the feed yard seemed almost impossible. Those needs included increased height for airflow & drying, eliminating poles in the middle of the pens to improve pen surface conditions and facilitate cleaning with heavy equipment, and better shade coverage with less material – and of course this needed to be a more cost effective solution than traditional shade designs.
Fortunately while visiting some yards in Australia we discovered the Net-Pro technology. Very quickly we were in contact with the Net-Pro team and arranged a visit to our facilities in the U.S — the rest is history. We recently completed a 16k head renovation using their technology, materials, and expertise. The Net Pro team provided flawless service designing the shade structure, bidding the project, and coordinating delivery of materials. In addition they spent a month on-site assisting and training our team and were a joy to work with!
I’m excited about this discovery and JBS is sold on the quality, functionality, service and value of this company and their technology and would highly recommend them to other cattle feeding entities!
